Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Audio signals are the representation of sound, which is in the form of digital and analog signals. Their frequencies range between 20 to 20, 000 Hz, and this is the lower and upper limit of our ears. Analog signals occur in electrical signals, while digital signals occur in binary representations.

Detailed explanation-2: -When audio signals are digitized, the sound waves look like sets of stairs rather than smooth curves, creating or adding digital noise. Analog sound recordings are much smoother. However, there can still be occasional cracking and/or popping noises due to imperfect recordings onto vinyl or tapes.
